Hi Brat3,

I am sorry to hear your son has been having such problems. Unfortunately the members of this community are people just like yourself, so we can not really provide an official diagnosis on your son. But we can try and give you some suggestions.

Has your son seen a specialist yet? A gastroenterologist may be able to better diagnose your son. While the CAT scan showed nothing, a colonoscopy may be required to properly diagnose your son. This is how a diagnosis for Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis would likely done.

There does seem to be some evidence that genes do play a role in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, however there is no reason to assume that just because a cousin has the disease that your son also has it. He may be diagnosed with IBS or a host of other things, so it is best to see a GI about this and perhaps have a colonoscopy.

I hope things work out for you and your son. Please let us know if anything changes.
